Answer:
The mass flow rate of refrigerant is 0.352 kg/s
Explanation:
Considering the cycle of an ideal heat pump, provided in the attachment, we first find enthalpy at state B and D. For that purpose, we use property tables of refrigerant R134a:
<u>At State A</u>:
From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated vapor at 0.2 MPa. Therefore:
ha = 244.5 KJ/kg
Sa = 0.93788 KJ/kg.k
<u>At State B</u>:
Since, the process from state A to B is isentropic. Therefore,
Sb = Sa = 0.93788 KJ/Kg
From table, we see the enthalpy value of super heated vapor at 1 MPa and Sb. Therefore:
hb = 256.85 KJ/kg (By interpolation)
<u>At State C</u>:
From table, we see the enthalpy and entropy value of saturated liquid at 1 MPa. Therefore:
hc = 107.34 KJ/kg
Now, from the diagram it is very clear that:
Heat Loss = m(hb = hc)
m = (Heat Loss)/(hb - hc)
where,
m = mass flow rate = ?
Heat Loss = (180,000 Btu/hr)(1.05506 KJ/1 Btu)(1 hr/3600 sec)
Heat Loss = 52.753 KW
Therefore,
m = (52.753 KJ/s)/(256.85 KJ/kg - 107.34 KJ/kg)
<u>m = 0.352 kg/s</u>
Answer:
Relative density = 0.7 or 70%
Explanation:
The following information was provided by this question
Pd = 1.72mg/mg³
Pd max = 1.81 mg/mg³
Pd min = 1.54 mg/mg³
We substitute into the formula. This formula is contained in the attachment.
[(1/1.54)-(1/1.72)]/[1/1.54 - 1/1.81]
= 0.649350 - 0.581395 / 0.649350 - 0.552486
= 0.067955/0.096864
= 0.7015
= 0.7
The relative density is Therefore 0.7 or 70% when converted to percentage
